Greeley police say a tip from a resident led officers to arrest two men and a juvenile on suspicion that they broke into several vehicles to steal tools.

Sgt. Susan West, spokeswoman for Greeley police, said a resident at Cottonwood Apartments, across from Bittersweet Park, told a 911 dispatcher late Thursday evening that three people were apparently breaking into a van.

West said the resident stayed on the line and gave police information on where the suspects headed.

West said officers from Greeley’s Special Enforcement Team and gang unit were in the area, and they pursued the three as they ran from the area.

They arrested a juvenile who ran and Brayan Oswaldo-Flores, 18, after they found him hiding in the complex. They followed shoe prints that led to Ramiro Luna Jr., 21.

West said officers recovered stolen items from the suspects’ vehicle and identified several victims. Oswaldo-Flores was out on bond for another case, she said.

Luna was being held at the Weld County Jail on Monday evening on $20,000 bond. Oswaldo-Flores was being held on $10,000 bond.

The resident played a big role in apprehending the men, West said, and police encourage residents to report any suspicious activity.

“If you see something like this that’s going on, call us and let us come check,” West said.
